Russ Feingold just introduced an amendment

[Girlfriday]

to eliminate pay raise for congress for FY 2004; and if not that, at least put it to a yay or nay vote for the record. He asks "how can we take a $3000 pay increase and tell the ederly that their benefits are cut?" Steven's wants to table (of course)

What creep have they found to run against Russ next year? I heard that Tommy Thompson might.

Well, he certainly fits the "creep" category admirably!

. . . but he's the only senator in either party who voted against the USA Patriot Act, which expanded federal police powers for the war on terrorism.

Good for you Russ! This is a recent article about Feingold and what he faces for re-election.

6. a lot of democrats are voting to table it too

thankfully both of our New York Senators voted nay on whether to table the amendment. I don't understand how anybody could vote to table this.
